I'm back today with my first 'Pink Wednesday', actually with a polish I'd already shown you *here*, no. 253 from Kiko. It was one of my nail polishpurchasesin Madrid. To be exact, I got this from the Kiko store at the Príncipe Pío Mall.

The truth is I rarely wear in-your-face colours on my fingernails, but it was a special occasion and anyway, summer is the best time to sport a bolder mani than usual, don't you think?

Day 1: I painted my nails in the afternoon with one coat of base from P2 and a thick one of this, topped with some SV, since we had our flamenco performance in the evening and more than ever, I needed a real quick drying time.

The blue-toned shimmer is visible with sunlight -maybe a lot more than with other polishes I own- but the blue undertone the polish itself has is quite noticeable and pretty much all the time, regardless of light conditions. Though I seldom go for bright, in-your-face shades like this for my fingernails, the truth is this one looked really nice, cheerful yet elegant. And if I don't wear this sort of colours in summer, I probably won't dare in winter at all.

We went to one of the Marionnaud perfumeries here and left about 10 EUR lighter in the wallet. I'll show you what I got, as it may be of interest especially now that we're all doing more travelling with the summer holiday -except forSalander, who travels year round because of her job.
